I woke up to Danielle shaking me.

"Wake up, Iris! It's Damien's birthday," she said, still shaking me.

I groaned and rolled over, reaching for the empty spot next to me where Damien was supposed to be. Ever since the incident with Jade, things had been different between us. We weren’t exactly distant, but it felt like we were moving backward instead of forward in our relationship.

"Where’s Damien?" I asked lazily.

"He had to take care of some pack issues before his celebration. He said he misses you."

I would have preferred if he had woken me up to tell me that himself, but I guess he's still being cautious—probably afraid I’ll keep giving him the cold shoulder. Not that I can blame anyone but myself for that.

"Iris, come on! Stop overthinking and get up. Damien wants to see you," Danielle tugged on my arm.

"Fine. Just go away so I can get dressed," I grumbled, shooing her off.

Once I heard the bedroom door close, I sat up, looking around the room and sighing.

I had never really paid

    "I don’t care. I knew you guys were talking about me anyway," I said as I walked around Damien’s desk and sat on his lap.He tensed for a moment, but after a while, he relaxed as I leaned back against his chest. I inhaled his scent, letting the warmth of his presence wash over me. Being near him always made me feel whole, and touching him sent tingles throughout my body.I glanced up at his lips, feeling the sudden urge to kiss him.He looked down at me, and he must have known exactly what I was thinking because, without hesitation, he lifted me and positioned me so that I was straddling him.He tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear before crashing his lips onto mine.An electric shock coursed through me as our lips moved in sync. His tongue brushed against my bottom lip, seeking entrance, and I granted it eagerly. My arms snaked around his neck as his hands wrapped firmly around my waist. The kiss became more intense—more desperate—as my fingers tangled in his hair, pressing my

    I groaned, dreading putting on the outfit. Still, I grabbed it from Danielle’s hands and walked into the bathroom to change in peace.The white tube top had small gems attached to it, leaving my stomach fully exposed. The skirt was short and flowy, designed to move effortlessly with the dance. And, of course, I was barefoot—not that I minded, considering I was used to walking around without shoes.Stepping out of the bathroom, I barely had a chance to take a breath before Danielle gasped."You look so beautiful! Let me do your hair!" she squealed excitedly.I instinctively moved to cover the scars and marks on my arms, remnants of my time as a rogue."Fine," I sighed. "Only because I don’t know how to do my own hair."As she sat me down and started running her fingers through my tangled strands, she paused."Have these white streaks always been in your hair?" she asked curiously.I nodded. "Yeah, I was born with them. Even if I cut my hair, they always grow back." I shrugged.She cont

    "Well, usually the mate is handed off to the Alpha so he can perform the ceremony. But since your mate is the Alpha, I’ll be doing it," Blake explained.Danielle giggled. "Was Damien really okay with a mateless male wolf handing off his mate?"Blake scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Well, no. Your mother had to persuade—and practically force—him to let me do it. He’s getting into that possessive stage now that he’s found his mate."I shrugged and took Blake’s arm."Well then, we better go before Damien gets more possessive," I said with a small smile.Danielle waved before hurrying out of the packhouse.A few minutes later, Blake announced that it was time. We stepped outside, and instantly, all eyes turned toward us.If Blake wasn’t supporting me, I probably would have collapsed—my legs felt weak beneath me.The pack members lined either side of the pathway, leaving the center clear, like a wedding aisle.As we slowly walked down the middle, I kept my gaze forward, too nervo

    "There is nothing to talk about," I said, my voice firm.Damien scoffed. "Don't play dumb with me, Iris. I knew I was right about you being Alpha-born. You're the daughter of Adam and Lucie Rose—the Alpha and Luna of the Moonshine Pack. I know all about what happened to your parents."That last sentence was all it took to set me off.My entire body tensed as anger surged through me."You know nothing about what happened to my parents!" I snapped, my voice shaking with fury. "You didn't witness them being murdered in cold blood! You didn’t have to run for your life when you were just twelve! You weren’t captured, tortured, and beaten for things you didn’t even understand! You don’t know anything!"I screamed the last part, my chest heaving as I glared at him.Damien looked at me, sadness darkening his eyes."Their so-called allies sure as hell weren’t there when my parents were slaughtered," I hissed.A new voice entered the room."We had no idea what was happening—or how they died.

    "I don't know who he is!" I snapped."Then how am I supposed to protect you if I don't even know who’s after you?!" Damien shot back, frustration clear in his voice."I never asked for your protection! Maybe if you hadn't found me that day in the forest, you'd still be with your little girlfriend—the one you were so sure was the one!" I retorted, my voice laced with anger.I knew he was just trying to protect me, but he was going about it the wrong way.Damien closed his eyes and took a step back, making me realize just how close we were—practically in each other's faces.He let out a long sigh. "I don’t want to fight tonight. I really thought we could just enjoy the evening—celebrate my birthday and your official entrance into the pack. But I guess I was wrong."Without another word, he turned and walked away.I collapsed onto the couch, huffing loudly.So much for a good night.Damien’s father sat down beside me and started rubbing my back in comfort."I'm sorry, Iris, for not prope

    I opened my eyes and was immediately blinded by the harsh lights overhead. Instinctively, I tried to shield my face, but I quickly realized my hands were restrained.Panic set in as I looked down. My hands were covered in leather gloves, bound in chains. Silver chains.My mind raced. They didn’t want to burn me... but why am I restrained in the first place?I forced myself to take in my surroundings—stark white walls, a heart monitor beeping steadily beside me, the sterile scent of antiseptic filling the air.Then, I turned my head and saw him.Damien sat beside me, exhaustion written all over his face."Hey... what happened? Are you alright?" I asked, my voice hoarse.His head snapped up, eyes widening as if I had no right to be the one asking that question.I glanced down at the chains again. "Why am I restrained? The last thing I remember is you marking me... and then everything went black."Damien reached out, his fingers brushing against my cheek."I’ll tell you... but not now. Y

    Frustration simmered inside me.I thought we had already discussed this. I thought we had worked through it together."Iris, I am your Alpha, and you will—"I was cut off—violently.Iris grabbed me by the throat, lifting me off the ground as if I weighed nothing.Before I could react, she slammed me against the mirror on the wall, the glass shattering on impact.Pain exploded across my back as jagged shards embedded into my skin.Her voice was cold, emotionless. "We have no Alpha. And you will never control us."She pressed me harder against the broken glass, her grip tightening.The burning sensation of suffocation crept in as I clawed at her hands, struggling to breathe.Where the hell did she get this strength from?I reached out through the mind link.'Blake, I need your help.'I didn’t know what was happening, but I knew one thing for certain—This wasn’t Iris.This was something else.Something that needed to be locked away until I got my flower back.Blake's voice came through

    I sat on the bed with my knees pulled up to my chest, rocking back and forth.It had been two days since I woke up in the hospital.Two days since I had last seen Damien.It was almost as if he were avoiding me ever since I nearly rejected him.I wasn’t even sure if rejecting him would have worked, considering he had already marked me. But at the time, I thought it was the best thing for him—and for the pack.Now, without his presence, I felt empty.The unsettling sensation gnawed at me.The door creaked open, and I quickly looked up.A boy, around eighteen years old, stood in the doorway. His mousy brown hair was slightly unkempt, and freckles were scattered across his face. He was about my height.“The Alpha has sent me to collect you,” he said firmly.I nodded, stretching my stiff limbs as I stood.That’s when I realized something.I was wearing clothes I didn’t remember putting on—an oversized white shirt and blue shorts.Brushing the thought aside, I followed the boy out of the r

    Chapter 50"Alpha, I need to examine her in the infirmary—to check how healthy the pup is," the pack doctor said urgently.Damien nodded silently and carried me up the steps.Tears welled in my eyes. I had been so selfish… I could have harmed our child. I could’ve lost everything."Damien… I’m so sorry," I whispered, voice trembling. "I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m losing my mind."He didn’t say anything at first. Just kept walking, his arms tight around me.Then, coldly, he spoke. "How can I forgive you when you’re putting our pup—and yourself—at risk?"His words hit harder than any blow. I began to cry, the shame settling deep into my chest. He hated me. I could feel the disappointment radiating from him."But Damien… I don’t know what to do," I whispered. "He has Lillian… and I feel everything she’s going through.""Do you want me to live the rest of my life alone?" he snapped. "Is that what you want? I’ve sent almost every warrior we have to find her, and it’s still not en

    I was chained to the wall, silver biting into my skin and burning as my body tried—and failed—to heal. The room was pitch black. No windows, no light. Just darkness. The door creaked open, and a man stepped inside—a tall figure in his thirties with jet-black hair, piercing grey eyes, and a gruesome gash across his cheek."Hello, Lillian. How nice of you to join me," he said, a twisted smile spreading across his face. He walked forward, one hand hidden behind his back."I’ve got a little surprise for you," he grinned.He raised his gloved hand, revealing a silver dagger. My heart dropped. He grabbed my face with his free hand, his grip rough and cruel."Luna, I know you can hear me. The Blood Moon is coming, and I need your true form awakened. If you won’t come willingly, I have other means to force you. Until then, your sister and I will have some fun.""Iris, I love you," Lillian whispered through the mental link, her voice shaking.Through her eyes, I watched in horror as he drove t

    I let out a playful bark, wagging my tail at Lillian. I had missed talking to her.As she stepped closer, I caught her scent—only it was different, unfamiliar. My head tilted as I tried to make sense of the change.She chuckled. "Blake and I finally mated."I let out a soft huff before playfully licking her cheek. It was hard to believe that my sister had gone from a rogue surviving in the woods to being mated to the Beta of the pack."Auntie Iry, who’s that? And why does she look like you?" Matty asked, eyeing Lillian with open curiosity.We had just arrived back at Lucie and John’s house. As Lucie helped Emma and Matty off my back, I stepped away to shift and put my clothes back on. When I returned, I noticed Matty watching Lillian with an intense, suspicious look."Matty, this is my sister, Lillian," I said, smiling as I wrapped my arms around her.Both children's eyes widened in shock."Auntie Lily!" Matty squealed before launching himself at Lillian, hugging her tightly.Lillian

    "I'm in charge, Alpha," I whispered seductively.Damien's eyes darkened with desire as he let out a low growl."Say it again," he commanded, his voice husky.I smirked but stayed silent, letting my actions speak for me. Slowly, I trailed my hands down to the waistband of his pants, unzipping them with deliberate care. I slipped them off and tossed them aside, revealing the growing need beneath his boxers. My fingers teased the waistband before finally sliding them down, freeing him.He sat up, eyes locked onto me, his breathing heavy."Put that mouth of yours to good use," he murmured, his voice rough with need.A nervous excitement fluttered inside me—I had never done this before. But I wanted to please him. Tentatively, I ran my tongue over the tip, earning a sharp intake of breath from Damien. Encouraged, I took him in deeper, my movements slow and exploratory. His groans grew louder as I picked up my rhythm, his fingers tangling in my hair.But just as I found my rhythm, Damien su

    Danielle flinched, as if just remembering the pain."It was painful," she admitted, "but I finally met my wolf! She’s so smart and funny. I can talk to her whenever I want, and she’ll never leave me. She kind of reminds me of you, Iris." She smiled brightly.Damien wrapped his arms around my waist, burying his nose into my neck."She also told me that I won’t find my mate until I’m eighteen," Danielle pouted.I giggled. "That’s because you’re of Alpha blood."She just huffed and walked back into the house."Iris, do you know who Cole is?" Damien suddenly asked.I stiffened slightly but kept my voice even. "I don’t know him personally. I only know he’s the one who killed my parents."Damien hesitated. "What were your parents like?"A small, sad smile tugged at my lips."My dad was strong and confident. He was a great Alpha—fierce, but he loved his family with all his heart. My mom… she was different. She used to be a rogue, never believed in mates—until she found my dad. She was caring

    I laughed, though it came out as a strange, gargling, high-pitched noise, which only made Damien burst into laughter.I growled playfully as we approached the pack house, where a blanket lay on the steps. Damien picked it up, unfolded it, and motioned for me to shift.I did, and as soon as I was back in human form, he draped the blanket over me."It's freezing out here!" I shivered, pulling the fabric tighter around me.Damien just chuckled, wrapping his arms around me as we stepped inside.The moment we entered, shouting filled the air."You're a fucking asshole! Am I not good enough for you?!" Lillian’s furious voice rang out.Still wrapped in a blanket, she was screaming at an equally frustrated Blake."What the hell are you talking about?" Blake asked, clearly irritated."That bitch had you on the ground, flirting with you and straddling you, and you just let it happen!" she yelled.The moment she noticed Damien and me, her expression shifted. Fear and panic flashed across her fac

    "Thanks, Iris," Danielle said, clutching her head in pain as her body trembled."Danielle, take a deep breath and calm down. Relax your mind and focus on shifting. Imagine yourself as a wolf, running through the forest," I instructed.She nodded, squeezing her eyes shut as the trembling grew more intense. Suddenly, she dropped to all fours, and the piercing sound of cracking bones shattered the silence of the forest.A sharp scream tore from her lips.What's happening? Damien’s voice rang through our mind link.Your sister is shifting, I replied.Thank you for being there for her. We're still setting up her birthday party, he said.I focused back on Danielle as her bones continued to shift and break, her whimpers turning into furious growls. Then, her form stilled, and a stunning dark brown she-wolf with black paws stood before me.She lifted her head and growled, her wild eyes locking onto mine. Newly shifted wolves were often overwhelmed by instincts, sometimes even attacking those

    I woke up snuggled against someone's chest."Damien, get up. You've been asleep long enough," I murmured, trying to wiggle out of his grasp but failing miserably."No… five more minutes," he groaned, pulling me even closer.I sighed in defeat before turning around to face him. Damien looked so peaceful and calm in his sleep, his usual intensity softened by dreams. I reached up and gently pecked his lips, causing his eyes to flutter open."That was a lovely wake-up call," he said with a wink.Rolling my eyes, I pushed against his chest as he finally loosened his grip. I sat up, only to realize I was still completely bare from the night before. Blushing, I grabbed the white bedsheet and wrapped it around myself like a towel before heading to the bathroom.Just as I reached the doorway, I glanced back and noticed Damien lying there, very much uncovered, a smug look on his face."Like what you see?" he teased.Crossing my arms over the sheets, I smirked. "Just for that comment, you're not

    "I don't want to stop. I want you," I breathed out. In that exact moment, I could tell that his wolf had officially taken over. His eyes began shifting shades as he literally ripped off my shirt. I gasped at his sudden action. His lips met my shoulders, trailing kisses up to his mark. I could feel him, hard and eager against my inner thigh, his desire pressing into me, making my heart race. When he reached the mark on my neck, I couldn’t help but moan. A grin spread across his face, satisfied by the reaction he was pulling from me. His hands roamed up my back and stopped at my bra strap. He unhooked it with ease, and I let my arms fall, freeing myself in front of him. I’d never been this exposed or intimate with anyone before. I knew Damien had been with other women, and the thought brought a wave of insecurity. I instinctively moved to cover myself. He let out a low growl that surprised me. "Don't ever hide from me," he said, his voice deep and full of desire. "You're more beauti
